Keep Fighting

A/N: So here's a boring, short one, kind of cute, I guess.

"They're doing this because I broke into the Quill and Skull room, aren't they?"

"No,” he lied, “Betty, they all just hate me and want me gone."

"But it isn't like you to back down from a fight you could win. And I know you’re lying to me. I know it’s my fault. I’m so sorry if I ruined your chances." 

"Well, it’s not your fault, it’s mine. It just feels like a losing battle. They'll keep trying until I'm out or until I'm dead, and that’s all there is to it."

"Brett does have a sex tape of us, doesn't he? That's why you're not fighting, he threatened to release it."

"What does it matter, Betty?” Jughead asked exasperated, “What's done is done."

"Please don't do this for me, I don't care if he releases it."

“How do you know I don’t care if he releases it?” Jughead challenged.

“I know you, Jug, I know you’re doing this for me, but I don’t need you to ‘defend my honor’ or whatever. I can handle myself.”

“What if it ruins your life?”

“You realize that if you do what you’re doing to stop him releasing the tape, it ruins your life, right?”

“But-”

“No, Jughead. You have to fight. You have to fight for your future. For all we know, he might be bluffing. If he isn’t and it gets out, then everyone will see how hot we are and/or have to bleach their eyes. If we can get proof that he’s the one that released it, we can sue him for recording us without our permission or charge him with recording underaged porn. There are many ways this can be worse for him. In the meantime, we’ll try and steal the security footage of your room when he threatened you so we have proof because I know for a fact that every room in this school of horrors is bugged.”

“You’re a genius, you know that? How does your brain even process all of that so fast?” He kissed her quickly.

“Just logic,” she said modestly, “ and when your boyfriend’s future hangs in the balance, you tend to strategize quicker.”

“There’s something else I have to tell you.”

“That’s ominous, what is it?”

“They’re terminating my Baxter Brothers contract.”

“What!? How dare they? First, they say you plagiarized someone else’s work. Then they plagiarize your book. Now they’re taking away your contract? What the hell? Don’t tell me Brett is taking it over.”

“Oh you’ll love this one, all of my classmates are collaborating on it. Brett, Donna, Jonathan. They’re all stabbing me in the back for their own gain. Shocker,” he said sarcastically.

“This is absolutely ridiculous, I am not letting any of them get away with this, don’t you worry. We’re going to put an end to this madness once and for all. Or die trying.”

“Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.”

“I agree, but I’m willing to go, in the wise words of Veronica Lodge, full dark, no stars.”

They kissed deeply, not knowing that it might be one of their last. If only they had more time, but time was the one thing they didn’t have. They needed to do something. And fast. Would their love be enough to get the two of them through this whole ordeal? Maybe, but probably not.
